NUGEN Audio Announces New AMB Processor Enterprise Extension

Date: 13/11/2018

NUGEN Audio announces its new Audio Management Batch processor extension (AMB) that adds enterprise functionality to its modular software. To be shown for the first time at Inter BEE 2018 (Hall 1/Booth 1502 and Hall 2/Booth 2115), the AMB extension will expand the features required for larger businesses with automated networked systems, and help customers integrate the solution more deeply into automated production workflows.

“The new AMB enterprise extension is a very convenient add-on for customers that generally use networks and integrate AMB into a bigger MAM workflow,” said Jon Schorah, founder and creative director, NUGEN Audio. “It enhances an already competent system with our algorithms like DynApt and Halo Upmix. Our loudness processing offers a highly efficient and intuitive batch-file solution that meets audio professionals’ most demanding production requirements and significantly increases their capabilities.”

AMB offers unprecedented scalability and enables post production facilities of all sizes to accelerate workflows significantly and reduce delivery times for a range of different tasks, with separate modules available for upmixing and loudness management. AMB includes threaded algorithm processing and multiple processing paths that are addressable for simultaneous parallel handling of files and queues. Example modules include extensions to repurpose content for LRA or to process audio within MXF, Dolby E or .mov files.

AMB comes standard with two watch folders/processing queues. If users need extra power, the AMB Queue Expansion provides additional watch folders/processing queues. A total of up to 16 AMB Queue Expansions can be added. As standard, the base AMB module also includes two independent processing threads that optimize workflows by allowing two simultaneous processes to run in parallel. For even greater speed and efficiency, users can add the AMB Thread Expansion to activate up to 16 additional processing threads.

Cleanit is Crystal Vision's new profanity delay system. One of the few products available for protecting video as well as audio, Cleanit allows a live content stream to be delayed by up to 20 seconds in HD (ten seconds in 3Gb/s or 110 seconds in SD), giving the operator time to react and prevent the broadcast of unwanted or offensive video or audio material – such as expletives, obscene gestures, wardrobe malfunctions, bloopers, competitor mentions, coughing fits or technical problems. Features which make Cleanit the ideal profanity delay solution include its budget-friendly flexibility (multiple packages allow the broadcaster to just pay for the amount of protection needed), the ability to delay the programme by the exact amount required and the simple, intuitive control using a smart button box or computer GUI – with the choice of either manual or automatic operation of the cover/uncover functions.
